Chapter 22 The first step of making a fortune

For the next few days, Shen Zhiwen didn't have time to go into the mountains to collect firewood. Shen Yunfang collected potatoes and radishes at home sooner or later, and drove the sheep into the mountains after work. Because she was not familiar with the mountains and didn't dare to run around, so she It is to drive the sheep to the pine forest, and let the sheep graze on their own, while she goes in to hug the pine branches.Of course, she couldn't carry them down the mountain one basket after another, that would be too inefficient, so after she hugged the pine branches, she directly loaded them into the space.

It was not easy to drive the sheep up the mountain, so she didn't go home to eat at noon. Anyway, there was space, so she had a picnic when she had dinner in the pine forest.

At night, when it was estimated that it would be the end of work, she drove the sheep down the mountain. After sending the sheep back, she closed the gate of the yard, spread the pine branches in the space in the yard to let the wind blow, and the next morning She was in the reception space before going out.

There are so many more firewood in the house at once, so some people may suspect it, so these pine branches, Shen Yunfang, don't plan to let them see the light of day. If they need to use them in winter in the future, they can just take them directly from the space.

After cleaning up some pine branches on the ground, Shen Yunfang discovered something good again, which is the black soil with rotten leaves on the ground. This is the natural nutritious soil, and the fertility of things grown with it is absolutely awesome.

Therefore, Shen Yunfang had another job besides going up the mountain to collect firewood every day, which was to shovel the soil with a shovel.

Within a few days, Shen Yunfang discovered that her space was really not in good shape. She had a pile of firewood on the left, a pile of soil on the right, and some cow dung. Putting these things together with food was Shen Yunfang’s. Slight cleanliness is about to be cured these days and I can't stand it.

What should I do? One night, after she entered the space and looked at the appalling space, she suddenly thought that it would be great if the whole space could be divided into small compartments, so that different things could be placed in each compartment. They won't bother each other either.Who knew that the space is really powerful, as soon as she had such an idea in her mind, the space automatically divided the whole space into small spaces one by one like a dormitory according to the way she imagined in her mind.

Each space is about ten square meters in size. Although there are a lot of firewood, they are installed in this kind of compartment, which adapts to the unpredictable characteristics of the space and develops a lot higher.

Shen Yunfang sorted and stored the things in her own space, and then the whole space became orderly again.

Because she had firewood, a plan, and materials in her hands, Shen Yunfang cleaned up the West Room at home when she was free.

First, I took out all the rags in the house, and there was nothing else in the whole west house except the big kang.

She is going to turn the west house into a warm house, and she can raise earthworms in it in winter. I believe that after a winter of reproduction, the earthworms can also take shape. In spring, she is raising a few more chickens and catching two piglets. Earthworms can also be used as feed.

Although earthworms are nutritious for raising livestock, they are easy to induce diseases. If a care is not done well, it is likely to lose everything. Shen Yunfang’s parents have suffered this loss in their previous life, but they learned from their failures and finally mastered it. After mastering the technology and know-how, using earthworms, the pigs will be fat and strong, and the pullets will lay more eggs frequently.Shen Yunfang also participated in it at that time, so she also knows this technology.

In this era, it is too extravagant to feed livestock with grain, and there is no such condition, so feeding livestock with earthworms is the best way Shen Yunfang can think of, and I heard that people are not allowed to raise more livestock, but I have not heard that they are not allowed to raise more livestock. Earthworms, so she quietly raises more earthworms as feed at home, and no one will pay attention.Moreover, things like earthworms are very easy to feed and cost no food, which is very suitable for this era.

Also, she saw a row of leek roots in the field in the backyard, and she thought at that time that she should grow some leeks in the house in winter, just like growing vegetables on the balcony in the future. It will be very good whether it is sold or eaten by herself. .Moreover, leeks are easy to feed and grow fast. As long as the fertilizer is supplied, one crop can be harvested in about half a month.

Originally, she wanted to nail some wooden boxes to keep vegetables and earthworms in the boxes, but she rummaged through the boxes at home, but she couldn't find any wooden boards to nail the wooden boxes, and she didn't have a hammer or nails. In short, wood The box will be gone for a while.

But a living person cannot be suffocated by urine, even if there is no wooden box, her plan must still be carried out.

If there is no wooden box, then she can just spread the soil on the ground and plant the leeks directly on the ground in the house.

Of course, earthworms have to find a way to find a container and put them on the kang to raise them.

Coincidentally, leeks are cold-resistant, and generally grow best between 25°C and [-]°C, while earthworms need to be between [-]°C and [-]°C to actively reproduce. Now there are no two houses separated, so we can only make do with them. put together.

The only way to keep warm in the house is to burn the kang. If the kang is burned, the temperature on the kang must be higher than that on the ground. This solves both problems.

The house had not been lived in for a long time, and the kang road had accumulated a lot of plant ash. She took out the ash little by little, and then grabbed the pine branches and set them on fire.

After a while, the smoke walked in along the kang road, and Shen Yunfang's heart was relieved. Fortunately, the kang was still burning.

She filled in a few more branches, then left it alone, took off her shoes and got on the kang, and started cleaning the windows.

The windows of this room were small, and they were covered with newspapers. She removed the newspapers on them, and then took out the plastic sheets in the basket.

I don't know what these plastic sheets were used for before, they are very old, and some are a little damaged.

After comparing it, she found a plastic sheet about the size of the window and nailed it to the edge of the window.There is a small hole at the foot of this piece of plastic sheeting. Shen Yunfang took out a branch with spark seeds from the kang, found a small piece of plastic sheeting, put the branch close to the plastic sheeting, and waited for the surface to show signs of being burnt. , quickly pasted the plastic sheet in his hand on the window, and the leak was filled just like that.

perfect.

That night, Shen Yunfang spread the soil recovered from the pine forest in the space on the ground of the Westinghouse, because the fertility of the soil itself was enough, so she didn't add more fertilizer.

It was already dark these days after finishing the work, and the house hadn’t been burned for a long time, so it had to be heated overnight, so after Shen Yunfang’s kang hole was filled with firewood, he sprinkled firewood everywhere in the house. After ordering water, I went to sleep in the next room.

She got up early the next morning, and after putting her breakfast in the cauldron, she took the shovel and went to the backyard to dig out the leek roots in the field.

Shake the soil on the roots in the field, put them in baskets, and carry them to Westinghouse.

The big porridge in the pot was also hot, Shen Yunfang washed her hands, removed the fire from the stove, filled a bowl of big porridge, and ate it with a small plate of pickled vegetables Gada.

After eating, she simply brushed and washed, and then went back to the Westinghouse to get busy.

Last night, she deliberately got up twice to add firewood to the kang cave to keep the room heated, and then poured some water every time. After a whole night, when she opened the door of the west room, she felt a damp and stuffy smell. The air wave came head-on.

She didn't have a thermometer or a hygrometer, so she just had to feel that she was almost ready to plant.

She dragged the basket containing leek roots into the house, dumped it on the ground, and started fiddling with it.

Leek is a perennial plant. After planting a crop, as long as the roots are still there, in the next few years, as long as there is enough fertilizer, it will grow one crop after another, so basically every family in the village grows Leek, easy to feed and pay off.

Shen Yunfang now wants to plant leek roots directly, which will yield quick results.

She separated a bunch of roots one by one, and then cut off the roots that were too long with her hands, basically leaving four fingers on the top and two fingers on the bottom, and then put six or seven roots together, and planted them in small clusters. Spread in the soil on the ground.

After a while, she planted all the leek roots, because there were not many leek roots in the house, so the soil she spread was not full. After thinking about it, she went to find some lettuce seeds and raised them. He raised his hand and sprinkled the seeds casually.

Hopefully these lettuces will grow so her winter dishes are less monotonous.

After pouring the water thoroughly and filling the kang hole with firewood, I packed myself up and went out to work.
